Dokis First Nation hosted a recent round table discussion on "Species At Risk" that looked at local harvesting practices in the Lower French River and inland lakes that concern the community. Talks surrounding ways to promote more sustainable practices topped the agenda. At the request of Dokis First Nation, Perry McLeod-Shabogesic, Community Liaison Specialist for the A/OFRC, attended the meeting to present work his organization has done in this area and offer any expertise the A/OFRC may have to share.
